]]>THIS is the AT-PT:
]]>]]>They were Old Republic vehicles that were used by the Empire on Outer Rim planets cause they were cheap, same as Juggernauts.
So y'know all those jerks who want Clone Wars vehicles on the basis that "a lot of them would still be hanging around?" Well, just tell them that FS has the AT-PT. That should shut them up.
]]>They weren't, but apparantly all three Rogue Squadron games featured them.
Using the Rogue Squadron series as a Star Wars source is like consulting Däniken's rantings when questions on UFOs arise.
I'd be alright with it if we were able to take a few liberties with the design
No, I say keep it accurate. It's not the least bit ugly to me. And what matters is the functionality.
AT-PT is ugly, very ugly
Well, I'm sure there are people who don't find you very pretty either [/politically correct nanny ]
But don't make too many vehicles, so the weak, "underpowered" ones just will be standing unused in the mainbase.
How many vehicles are made is not relevant, what's relevant is how they're distributed among the maps. The mod can have 70 vehicles and still give us maps with hardly vehicles at all (cough, Judicator, cough).

The AT-PT is lightly armored, armed with twin blaster cannons and one concussion grenade launcher that is only effective against infantry. The AT-PT has superior speed to make up for its light armor.An AT-PT. The AT-PT was designed decades before the Clone Wars, but during the Wars the Republic found a need for a small, anti-personnel walker, and the AT-PT became more relevant. The AT-PT was a limited production model, the majority of which were stationed aboard the Dreadnaught-class cruisers of the legendary Katana fleet, and many were lost when the fleet itself vanished. These walkers, along with the fleet, were rediscovered by the New Republic, and were used in the Republic's war with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The Galactic Empire still utilized a limited number of these walkers, as did the Rebel Alliance. They were often used as sentries and patrol vehicles near Imperial installations.
AT-PTs served as part of Blizzard Force during the Battle of Hoth in a rear-guard role. Large numbers would be used in the Battle of Ralltiir, where most of them were destroyed by Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron.

AT-RT
The AT-RT is 3.2 meters tall and 2.9 meters long, with a saddle-like seat for a single clone trooper. Its open cockpit-design makes the driver especially vulnerable to sniper fire, but low costs and good visibility of the battlefield makes up for this shortcoming. The recon walker is equipped with a nose-mounted repeating blaster cannon and mortar launcher, making the AT-RT a capable anti-infantry unit. The AT-RT is fitted with a motion detection scanner and sensor equipment capable of providing Forward Command Centers with updated situation reports from the battlefield. Due to its light construction, AT-RT walkers are especially vulnerable to heavy weapons. AT-RTs are mostly used as fast scout packs or in the role of civilian (police or military) support. Commonly, AT-RTs are used as picket and pathfinder units. AT-RT walkers were deployed during the Battle of Kashyyyk, and were later used in an attempt to track down Jedi Master Yoda following the transmission of Order 66 as well as Outer Rim planets such as Utapau and Mygeeto. These light-weight walkers were also utilized in the attack on the Jedi Temple. Over a year later, during an attempt by ex-Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana and Ferus Olin to retrieve a cache of lightsabers from the occupied Temple, AT-RTs backed up teams of stormtroopers that were hunting them. During the Galactic Civil War, modified AT-RTs were also utilized by the Rebel Alliance and fringe groups. Many of these walkers were painted with camo to better blend in with their surroundings. A floodlight often replaced the repeating blaster cannon, providing additional aide for the walker on night-time missions, but making the vehicle more vulnerable in the process.
